Bisan Toron is a vocal artist and voice teacher. Born in Syria and raised in Paris and New York, Bisan studied classical voice performance at NYU and holds masters in Ethnomusicology from the University of London, School of Oriental and African Studies, where she focused on the topic of music, identity, and the 'search for home,' through the fusion music of refugee populations and ethnic minorities.

Bisan's music is informed by a multitude of cultures and vocal traditions, which she threads with vocal articulations that arise from the moment.
